Claims To Be A Deserter.

Last night young man CALI ng
himself Francis P. White, and hailing
from Philadelphia, accosted Officer
Barnett and asked to be locked up
and the proper authorities notified OF
his whereabouts. He said he had
deserted from the army while at Fort
Clark, Texas, in 1884, and had been
wandering all over the southwest,
doing one thing or another, until he
had got tired of it. He wished to be
returned to the army officers, and be
dealt with, according to the rules
laid down in the military arm of the
service for deserters. White was put
in the calabeose and remained there
to-day, awaiting some disposition of
his case. 1t is intended to notify the
commandant at Fort Leavenworth of
Whites presence in Sedalia, and if
his story is verified, a detail will pro-
badly be sent for him.

Mrs. Goodwin was taken by her
husband several weeks ago, overland,
and by easy stages, to Colorado, in
the hope that she would regain her

this afternoon by Elder NJ. NJ. Davis,

SHOT In THE HAND.
A Student at Browns Telegraph
College Loads His
Pistol.

This morning, a little before ten
o'clock, B. L. Harmon, young man
from Wellington, Kansas, who is at
tending Browns telegraphic institute
on Main street, accidentally shot him.
self while loading a revolver. He
boards at Cook Duncans, on Pacific
street, and was preparing to go home
in answer to a telegram informing him
that his father was at the point of
death. He was loading a self-acting
revolver, when the weapon, in some
mysterious manner, was accidentally
discharged. The ball passed through,
from the inside of his left hand, the
last joint of the little finger, but not
breaking any bones. The wound,
which was painful, was dressed by
DR.. Neale, and the young mans
journey to his fathers deathbed will
not be interfered with, by reason of
the accident.

He was an industrious, frugal man,
and had saved up money, there being
to-day to his credit at the First Ma
tional bank, about $3.50. He owned
the house and lot where he lived, and
one or two lots in East
Sedalia, south of the railroad.
He had no known relatives, and it
is currently believed that if he had
made will he would have bequeathed
the bulk of his property to Richard j..
Brady, a young man, who worked
here for some time in the railroad
shops, but is now at 78 Mulberry
street, Cincinnati. The two Bradys,
although not related in any wise, were
warm friends, and in fact, some of
Richard Brady's household effects are,
at present, stored away in the
dead mans house.

oner had about finished his search of
the green box that "You all will get
through, now, and then something
else will be found out" What this
remark meant, has not yet
been discovered.
A corener's jury was summoned
and a verdict that deceased came to
his death from natural causes, un-
known to the jury, was rendered. The
jury was composed of j. FL. Looney,
foreman; Jos. III. Green, A. Dull

Thos. III. Smith.
The funeral will take place at ten a.

Getting MOnOtOneus.

The young girl, Mandy Mashburn,
called to see the BAzoo last night and
dropped in again this morning. The
object of her calls was to have this
paper deny that she had been arrest
ed at the park the other night. As
the BAzoo never said that she had
been arrested, her solicitude in the
matter is misapplied. In this con-
nection, it might be apropos to sug-
gest to the young girl, who declares
1t to be her intention to conduct her
self with decorum in future, to change
the condition of affairs at home, where
"she is always treated like lady" and
call she has to do is to sit in the house
with her gloves on and fix her hair, I"
and pay more attention to "redin,
'ritin' and spellin.'" This little bit
of wholesome advice will do her good i,
if she follows it, and her hours will be
so occupied that she won't have time
to 60 to parks and other places of
resort, and render herself liable to
trouble, by reason of her willful
ways.

GONE TO KANSAS CITY.
The Two RObbs Who Ran The
"Star."

Reports were thick this morning
that John and James Robb, who ran
the "Star" saloon, on Main street.
until the license was refused at the
last meeting of the county court, had
gone to parts unknown, leaving con.
siderable Indebtedness behind them.
A BAzoo reporter called on Mrs.
Emma w. Robb, wife of John, at her
cosy cottage on Pettis street, two
doors west of Hinsdale's stable,
and found that lady very
down-hearted. She said that her
husband had gone to Kansas City
last week to look around and had re-
turned Monday. He told her that if
she would turn over to him $500 she
had in the Citizens National bank, it
would assist him in going into a good
business up there, and he would send
for her within a weeks time. Upon
his representations and upon his
promise that he wouldn't take James
with him, she gave him
the money. Her husband left
for Kansss City last night and took
Jim along.
This morning several parties called
to see her, and she was confronted
with chsttel mortgages. which under
the circumstances, she could do
nothing Tor. Some startling develop
ments, it is expected, in the matter,
will be brought to light in a day or
two. Until they are, little can be
put in print.

A LETTER
Which Chief of Police jackson
Received Last Night.

The chief of police in last evenings
mail got a letter from party signing
himself "W. III. Clarkson, who stated
in very unfortunate spelling, that in
the jail at Springfield, this State, was
a man named James p. Philips, who
was confined for murder. Clarkson
said that Philips, when drunk, claimed
to have killed a woman or a girl in
Sedalia few years ago, was never
suspected of the crime, and it was
never known who did kill her.
Clarkson asks to be informed if any
one has been killed in the last few
years, for he says "Philips is low
enough to do anything" having been
twice in the penItentiary for grand
larceny and forgery.
A BAzoo reporter with knowledge
of the contents of the letter of Clark
son in bis possession, interviewed
several parties in regard to the mat
ter. Chief jackson thought he could
remember hearing about a woman be-
ing killed down along the railroad
southwest of town, and that the little
boys had popular idea that the
locality was haunted. But his re-
collection was dim. Mont Carnes went
down into the inner chambers of his
memory, but was unable to resurrect
anything satisfactory, Squire Hal
sted had an idea, dim,
though, that there was woman
killed several years ago. But
he couldn't exactly lecate the
thing. $50 to Carnes," said he, "if
anybody can tell you, he cam" But
Carnes, as stated above, was unable
to throw any light.
1t is uncertain whether the man
Philips, is liar or crank, and his
motive in spinning the drunken yarn
is a mystery.

THE COLORADO"
What the Surveyors Are Doing
To-day.

Engineer Neher is at work, with
his corps of surveyors, to-day, near
the fair grounds, and expects to reach
Muddy this evening. He will eros:
the Missouri Pacific track about q
half mile west of Lexington Branch
junction with the main line. The
camp which is now at Twentieth and
Missouri avenue will be removed to
the neighborhood of Dresden, about
Wednesday.
The location now being
made is the final one, the
opinion of many to the contrary not
outstanding. 1t crosses the NJ. K.
Il L. d. Eleventh street west to Grand
avenue, here it crosses and cuts off q
corner of Mr.. Bsrrett's yard. Then
the line passes through the southwest
corner of the fair grounds, and then,
on in a northwest direction to the
Missouri Pacific track.
The crossing of the NJ. K. & T.
will very probably be made
under that roads tracks while at
the Pacifc's line, an overhead
bridge will be used by the "Col-
orado."
1t might be worth while to state
that the idea of the Colorado" max
ing its survey east of town an d then
running parallel with the Missouri
Pacific and north of this Iast-named
road, to the westward, was never
thought of by the engineers and those
in charge Of the matter. Business
considerations would naturally throw
the line, where it is now being finally
located.
Mr. Neher will prepare his papers
in the course of the next few days, and
transfer them to Col. Emerson, the
chief engineer, who will then submit
them to Vice-presiaent Smith, at Chi
cago. The next thing will be, after
Mr.. Smith has examined the survey
lines and figures prepared by Engineer
Neher, for the vice-president to make
his proposition to Sedalia. Our city
will, in all probability, know what
their prospects for the new road are,
In the course of the next ten days.

Hero of the Hour.
Kansas City Times.

kansas City Times.
Judge Noonan was the man who, as
it were, seized a mighty stone, such as
no ten common lawyers could lift, and
with it smote the Sunday law into
smithereens. A shout of joy started
at Carondelet, rolled over increasing
in volume over Baden, and was taken
up with enthusiasm in Kerry Patch.
These three regions comprise pretty
much all there is to st. Louis. and
Judge Noenan is the greatest man of
the hour. He is the liberator, the
savior of the city. Old Andrew Jack
son, when he stopped the British
myrmidons with his cotton bales, did
no more for New Orleans than Judge
NoOnan has done with his little decis-
ion for st. Louis.

Cam Sneed Has Some Active
Training.

Yesterday morning a party, con-
sisting of Judge Shirk. r. G. Sneed,
Geo. F. Longan, V. E. Shaw and j.
A. Bowers went down to Boonville to
attend circuit court. Sneed was told
the train would leave at AS. A few
minutes prior to that time he took his
grip and started leisurely for the de-
pot. AS be was in front of Taylor's
store, he looked up and saw a train
moving off to the east. Supposing it
to be the Boonville train, be struck
out at q Maud s. gait. As he passed
Main street, several parties knowing
where he was going, and that be was
mistaken as to the train, tried to stop
him, but to no purpose. He had
started to run that train down, and
he was going to do it or raise the
thermometer to 1902. He reached
the train just as the last coach
was crossing Ohio street and
succeeded in catching ON. Drop
ping into the first seat he reached,
he remarked to the porter that that
conductor had mighty little accommo-
dalton about him.
Where are you going?" asked the
porter.
"BoOnville," said Cam.
"Well, boss, you had better take
the next train, or do you prefer going
by Upton ?" said the porter.
"Why, is this not the Boonville
train ?" asked Cam.
"No sa'r," answered the porter.
"The - you say" said Cam,
and catching up his grip. he dropped
to the ground, just as Mills street was
reached, three blocks east Of the
depot. The train had reached high
rate of speed, but Cam had no trouble
in making landing, as he had in
former years had a good deal of ex-
perience in railroading. having driven
q mule to dump cart on the K. IL
I. Cam started back to the
depot, using his hat as
q fan. Looking up he saw the Boon
vile train. as he supposed, just
starting out. He again started at a
full run which gait he maintained
until he reached the depot, just with
sufficient breath left to ask of Mont
Carnes, "How long before the Boom
vile train leaves?" Carnes glanced
1t his watch and answered, Thirty.

Crop Prospects.

In conversation with several lead.
ing farmers of this county to-day, a
BAzoo reporter learned that the crop
outlook is the best for a number OF
years, and particularly is the corn
crop promising. In some instances
the corn is more heavily laden with
ears than ever before seen in this part
of the state, and should nothing hap
pen, the yield will be fine when the
harvest comes.
